On Wednesday afternoon, 125 of the biggest Nuggets fans got to hang out with the Nuggets.

The team held its annual Special Olympics Colorado Basketball Skills Clinic at Pepsi Center. Players and coaches ran drills with the 125 Special Olympics Colorado athletes, who practiced shooting and dribbling between smiles and high-fives.

“These kids are some of our biggest fans, so for them to come out here and interact with us, and vice versa, is always a fun experience,” Nuggets guard Arron Afflalo said. “And it’s a blessing. Usually our appearances are business-like, meeting the fans, but once we start interacting with the kids, it’s always fun.”

The athletes ranged from ages 7 to 70 and came from across the state to participate in the event.
